S8 "bookshelf" speaker
Well my local CL was my friend again today, and I picked up a pair of S8's in pretty good shape. 30 bucks and he even had the paperwork on the speakers. I bought them with the intention of using them as computer speakers. OMFG these are huge. Bookshelfs? Uh, NOT!!

I see a lot of horrible deals every day, and a couple good ones every few months. Check your local CL daily, and if you're not near a major city be prepared to drive.

Twin 7" woofers does not make for a small speaker, even if it is classified as a bookshelf.

Not sure how they sound yet because of those stupid spring clips. I'll post an update soon though."They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
